Perfect timing for the Herend factory, but the portion of the trip dedicated for lake Balaton could have been longer.
Excellent choice for a full day trip.

Highly enjoyable and pleasant. Mandatory for any Herend devotee. As one of them, I would suggest lengthening the time spent at the Herend factory. (I could have easily spent another hour there, and was so busy making my purchases I never got to see the museum). There was almost a whole free hour at the end of the tour in Balaton Lake. Still, all in all, a great experience.

Ingrid, our tour guide patiently explained what we were seeing and, at all times, kept track of the group and saw that our questions and concerns were answered. Herend was a fascinating tour will details on how the pieces are make and showcasing the skill and effort that is needed for each piece. Lake Balaton was beautiful and we saw some of the prettier villages and other sights. Both are a MUST SEE in Hungary.

This was a great trip, beautiful scenery and very educational about making porcelain. Great 3 course lunch with wine outdoors in the hillside of the Balaton. I can recommend to everyone.

The porcelain factory is very interesting and Lake Balaton is picturesque. The travel down gives a good view of the countryside and how the people live.

This turned out to be the best tour we booked on our trip. The Herend factory visit was a truly unique experience. Our time in the Balaton Lake area was extensive and appreciated. While the driver was very courteous and accommodating, I can't begin to say enough about the guide. She was extremely personable, knowledgeable and impressive - speaking three languages to our assorted group. We still can't believe how reasonable the price was for all that we received.

An enjoyable day. Beware that there is quite a high proportion of time spent on the coach, and very little time spent actually at the lakeside. The other stops are interesting though.

Lake Balaton is beautiful, it would be nice to be able to walk on the shore and put your feet in the water. Herend porcelain was so lovely. Lunch was nice, we had fish fresh from the lake. I would recommend the trip.
